Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

New nursing roles and apprenticeship routes, such as nursing associates and nurse degree apprenticeships, have increased the focus on work-based learning (Halse et al, 2018). This is set to be a growing area for nurse education because of the need to increase student capacity and expand the nursing workforce to meet rising demand.

The global shortage of nurses and the acute shortage in the NHS (NHS, 2019), requires immediate action including increasing nurse recruitment through traditional university routes and expanding new roles and apprenticeship routes. Each approach requires clinical workplaces to increase their teaching capacity while supporting the existing workforce to provide first-class care. Educating the workforce of tomorrow while caring for the patients of today is a challenge faced by healthcare globally. To achieve this, we propose integrating these two activities rather than treating them as separate entities.

Greater focus on the workplace as a learning environment and on the relationship between learners and their supervisors/assessors is

required throughout care systems. Every nurse, midwife and nursing associate – not just those in educator roles – must see themselves as an educator. Educating others is a key principle of the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s Code (NMC, 2018), and learning opportunities need to be clearly identified by care providers, and fully exploited and valued by all.

Despite the richness of clinical practice as a learning environment, achieving and maintaining a focus on work-based learning can be challenging in busy and complex settings where patient care is the priority. However, with preparation and by embedding education and learning throughout the workplace, learning can take place in even the most-pressurised settings (Attenborough et al, 2019).
The duty to support and educate students is embedded in the Code and the creation of the practice supervisor role aligns learning with care delivery. It also gives nursing and midwifery education the opportunity to engage other health professionals, although there is evidence that some nurses consider it an additional task (Attenborough et al, 2019).

This article explores how exploiting teachable moments (T-moments), or brief opportunities for learning, can be an effective way of aligning care delivery and education in the workplace, and proposes a developmental model for incorporating these learning opportunities. This follows Benner et al’s (2010) call to arms for a new approach to nurse education that moves away from decontextualised knowledge and the separation of the classroom and clinical teaching to situated learning and integration in all settings.

Learning is a combination of knowledge acquisition and its application in practice (Fuller and Unwin, 2003). In this article we explore the opportunities for work-based learning, and how to harness this opportunistically and proactively, to make T-moments an integral part of learning in practice.
